Willie Nelson

Matt Hubbard, Willie’s grandson-in-law, sent this sweet video of Zack, Willie Nelson’s great-grandson singing “A Peaceful Solution.”

Matt writes, “…the video was put together by Willie’s nephew Trevor Nelson and features Zack’s schoolmates as well as a performance with Willie at the Backyard in Austin, TX this month.

“Trevor shot the the Backyard video while Zack’s mother and Willie’s granddaughter Rebecca Thomas shot the school video. I formatted the video for youtube and uploaded it.”

Right away you can see why Willie Nelson advocates a peaceful revolution. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren would encourage any rational loving person to seek a peaceful resolution.

Or so one would think.

It becomes difficult for me to imagine the type of person who would wish to hand future generations little more than a load of grief. Puzzling questions haunt me concerning the powers at work to curse children, the children’s children and the children’s children’s children.

War, non-renewable resource exploitation, animal abuse, attacks on the way of life represented by family farms and similar ills are not natural. These are human inventions designed to help greedy psychotic people achieve their perverted desires.

We have allowed such people to become our leaders. Election after election we have been content to select from candidates who offer no real choice at all.

We have allowed such people to become our role models. Those who flaunt their affluence conspicuously and lead decadence lives of wanton dissipation gain our attention, dazzle us with their extravagances and fan our jealously.

Scientists warn us of the consequences of global warming and over dependence on petrochemicals. Yet we are urged to continue our wasteful ways and asked to contribute to yet another battle, this one against inevitable necessary change.

The same sick twisted logic pervades all intentional violent acts whether they be against people, animals or our environment. A great danger lies in acquiring and using this reactionary violent logic of retribution in response.

There must be another way.

The schoolchildren in the video sing lyrics for “A Peaceful Solution” we heard earlier in the version by Rattlesnake Annie and Amy Nelson.

“With Love we can win it.”

Make no mistake, a destructive process led us here and those who engineered it now goad us on. If We The People of the United States of America yield to this temptation we seal the fate of all children alive today and countless others of future generations.

A well known but untried process, a process urged upon us by the greatest spiritual leaders in history, a process implementing peace and love, will turn our world around.

Maybe if we hear enough children sing it then we will finally get the message.

We are so blessed. I asked Zack what he would like to say about the song, his reply

“this is my favorite song by my great-grandpa, and I really love to sing it.”

So there we go!!!!

We are so excited and this is only the beginning.
